Wouldn't surprise me if Trump and his billionaires are making good money on rising oil and gas prices. There's no limit on corruption in the US.

Billion-pound helicopter deal secures 3,300 British jobs, boosts battlefield kit and unlocks up to £15 billion in UK exports Leonardo UK selected for £1 billion contract for new medium helicopters (NMH) - which could work alongside uncrewed aircraft - to support defence operations around the globe.

Thousands of skilled British jobs have been secured with a major helicopter deal that will boost the UK Armed Forces’ battlefield kit and makes Britain Leonardo’s global centre for military helicopter production and exports – worth a potential £15 billion over the next decade.

Send Fucking Barron to the front lines

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:

"Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

MAGA reacts to #Iran:

Tucker Carlson: “absolutely disgusting and evil”
Rich Baris: “No, sorry, I don't think regime change suddenly became good policy or politics just because Donald Trump did it.”
Andrew Tate: “NOBODY WANTS THIS WAR.”
Blake Neff: “This is extremely depressing.”

PRESIDENT EISENHOWER: “We must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence of the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists.” #NoWarWithIran #IranWar

Always the first to flee while everyone else suffers the consequences.

Trump was panicking almost as soon as gave the go ahead.

Optics.

Gratitude to the artists at @thirdactdc.bsky.social for continuing the fight against crass authoritarianism.

Bravo!

As with Trump, whenever they lose, Reform racists will claim voter fraud at every opportunity.

And just like Trump, they will have zero evidence.

Phil Stewart @phildstewart !!! BREAKING - Kuwaiti air defenses mistakenly shot down 3 U.S. F15 fighter jets flying in Iran-related operations. All six aircrew ejected safely, have been safely recovered, and are in stable condition. -CENTCOM

The explanation for the F-15s that went down: Kuwait shot them down.

First Whiskey Pete shoots down Kristi Noem's anti-drone drone, and now Kuwait is shooting down American jets.

They'll probably blame Claude.

Don't know what happened to him, after this. 😳 #WW2 #HISTORY

All hail Gladis. Fucking genius.

Quite similar to Iran then. I feel so sorry for the decent Americans but hopefully you'll have your country back to some sort of normality.

Reform UK proposals for future elections:
-if Reform loses, there was fraud and cheating
-if Reform wins, it was fair
